plant music

#025 - What can plant music teach us about being human?

Join us for an amazing conversation with Plant Music Composer & Sound Healer Shane Mendonsa on his experience of co-creating with the plants through generative music.

In this episode, Shane offers deep insight into how connecting with plants through plant music can help us connect to a state of healing. We first recorded this for the Plant Spirit Herbalism Summit, and it was such a gem of a discussion that I wanted to share it with you here. Such wonderful medicine for these times!

Shane Mendonsa is a music composer and sound healer who creates plant music, which allows him to explore his relationship with Nature. He also practices sound healing with tuning forks. This is an extension of his work that allows him to explore the healing effects of music on bodies and spaces.

Fascinated by nature since her earliest memories, Tigrilla Gardenia turned that passion into her vocation.
 
Her journey began in a polyethnic childhood. She earned a degree in music and electrical engineering, entering the high-tech corporate world via RealNetworks and Microsoft in the early days of the internet. 
 
The desire to escape the confines of the corporate world proved too strong, and Tigrilla soon began following her own spiritual path. She co-owned a circus, produced intentional dance events, taught Kabbalah, and even toured with Cirque du Soleil. 
 
Today, she works as a Nature-Inspired Mentor, Leadership Coach, and studies Plant Intelligence and the Effects of Plant Music on Human Health. 
 
Tigrilla has the honor of being a Damanhur citizen in Italy — one of the largest spiritual eco-communities in the world. 
 
Her roots are firmly planted in the arts, communication, and the avant-garde. Tigrilla uses her expertise to empower mission-driven leaders to achieve personal and professional success by integrating nature-inspired innovation in order to bring meaning to Life and make an impact with work. She is an influential speaker and mentor, running courses and workshops on reconnection with the plant kingdom.
 
Always eager to learn, she studied with some of the greatest minds in bio-inspired sciences, gaining a masters degree in Futuro Vegetale (Vegetal Future): plants, social innovation, design under Stefano Mancuso, University of Florence. She has also studied Biomimicry for Social Innovation and Product Development. 
 
Tigrilla is a World Ambassador for Plant Intelligence and champions connection to nature as the basis for long-term health, happiness, and success.
